This song is about the 2018 MIT Mystery Hunt. I was on the writing team, Life and Order (formerly Death and Mayhem)!
lyrics
I hid my treasure in a secret place
I made my maps I laid my traps and now we start the race
you brought your most intense and nimble-minded
a hundred teams' ambitious dreams but only one can find it
the hunt is on
the hunt is on
when you got tired I made you dance for me
when you're confused your ego's bruised I made you buy the key
why did you send you all those gross diseases
oh I don't care it's only fair I sent you all the pieces
the hunt is on
the hunt is on
you tried to buoy up your tired soul
I send you round the edge of town with just an eight foot pole
you finally gathered up your feelings for her
I gotta do these things to you to put my life in order
the hunt is on
the hunt is on
it's been three days and still I'm on the phone
not knowing who will make it through my treasure's all alone
it's just a little distance after all
astronomers are amateurs at walking down the hall
